      In no way is the Colorado front range connected to Albuquerque as a metro population

      This got reposted countless times, and each time it sparks debates and controversy.

      I’ve seen this map before and there are definitely cities that have no real lasting connection to each other besides being able to connect them with a line without crossing a different connecting line.

      I dont think people from Boston feel any kindred connection with Norfolk. I dont think people from Buffalo feel any connection with Milwaukee.

      I think this map should be viewed as a what should be, regions that should look to develop themselves as coherent economic units, not what is right now.

      Why did the northeast develop on the coast while the southeast developed so far inland?

      I understand agriculture is largely the man reason but why didn’t that lead to larger port cities in the southeast?

      Is Houston in the Gulf Coast region or the Texas Triangle region, and — if both — what other metropolitan areas are included in multiple regions?

      Friendly reminder that neither southern British Columbia or Southwestern Ontario are regions of the USA.

      El Paso, Texas, has a population of nearly 700,000 (nearly 900,000 in the metro area). It’s the 22nd largest city in the US.

      Kansas City, Salt Lake, Las Vegas, and so many others are smaller — some, significantly smaller (like 1/3rd of the size).

      Why is it left off the list? Dat’s some major bullshit.

      It’s pretty funny to see Kansas City as part of the Great Lakes megalopolis, and not Montreal.

      Circles are too small for DFW and Houston. DFW has > 8.3 million people. Houston has > 7.8 million people.

      Honestly the Metroptamia portion looks relatively accurate although including St. Louis is a stretch

      The unlabeled metro areas in East TX/North LA/AR/MS/South MO + Memphis should be the Mid-South region

      This whole mega region map has been widely criticized because only really the north east exists in this kind of idea. Jonas Rugys had done a presentation on basically this map in particular at the Pennsylvania GIS day last year looking at county populations and found that not even the Texas triangle could be called a mega region because of how unpopulated neighboring countries really were compared to each city themselves. The map is interesting otherwise if it were true.

      I can’t tell what’s more of a stretch, putting Bakersfield in „Southern California“ or putting Fresno in „San Francisco“

      You can make a cultural argument for a lot of these, but if you actually visit them they don’t feel like one contiguous region

    26. zepherth on

      Yes there is an interstate that connects new Orleans to mobile, we are not connected in any commercial or political sense

    27. dbd1988 on

      I grew up right in between San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara. It’s fairly rural and there’s no way each of those locations have 1 million+ people even in the metro area.

    31. floppydo on

      Can anyone familiar with Texas justify Houston and DFW mega regions being separated?

    32. kicksledkid on

      >regions of the USA

      Looks inside

      >Regions of North America

      This sub fucking sucks sometimes.

    33. Farthered_Education on

      Is this map not just a labelled population density map for the typical „cultural regions of the USA“ map

    34. OldeArrogantBastard on

      This is terribly off Florida. S Florida should not be lumped into Orlando as a single region. Nor Atlanta be lumped into Charlotte.

    40. TurdFerguson614 on

      Yeah I’d like to see a legend for the color grouping supposedly means.

    41. aflyingsquanch on

      Albuquerque isnt really in the Front Range considering its located directly WEST of the Sandia Mountains.
